"Well, then," said Miss Georgiana, "if you take this white satin off my hands, Lydia, I am sure I shall be happy." "I have no objection, ma'am that is, I'm in duty bound to make no manner of objections," said Lydia, with a very sentimental air, hanging her head aside, and with one finger rubbing her under-lip slowly, as she contemplated the white satin, which her young mistress held up for sale.
The stranger raised his hat, and inclining his head slightly, said, "Permit me to ask your name?" "Salome Owen. And yours, sir, is " "Ulpian Grey." For a few seconds neither spoke; but the man smiled, and the girl bit her under-lip and frowned. "Are you the miller's daughter?" "I am the miller's daughter; and you are the master of Grassmere."
I stepped ashore with a swelling heart. But I carried also a portentously swollen under-lip, with a crack in it which showed signs of festering. Now there was a base hospital at Figueira, to the surgeon in charge of which fell the duty of inspecting the men as they landed and detaining those who were sick or physically unfit. I need not say that his eye was arrested at once by my unfortunate lip.
With head lowered to knee level, with ears cocked forward, nostrils sniffing and under-lip twitching almost as if he meant to laugh, Barnacles eyed his prospective owner. In common with most intelligent horses, he had an almost human way of expressing curiosity. Captain Bean squirmed under the gaze of Barnacles's big, calm eyes for a moment, and then shifted his position.
"Look at the line of the under-lip. Th-th-that is the sort of nature that feels pain as pain and wrong as wrong; and the world has no r-r-room for such people; it needs people who feel nothing but their work." "Is it at all like anyone you know?" He looked at the portrait more closely. "Yes. What a curious thing! Of course it is; very like." "Like whom?" "C-c-cardinal Montan-nelli.
He can, if he likes, soothe his conscience with the reflection that he was worth a thousand pounds to me. But Mrs. Le Bretton never quite forgave me. Conversation raged on the long flanks of the mail-car. An elderly priest, with a warm complexion and a controversial under-lip, was expounding his native country to a fellow-traveller, with slight but irrepressible pulpit gestures of the hand.
But although, he was so thin his face had a white and overhanging appearance, his cheeks being pale and puffy and his under-lip jutted forward in front of projecting teeth he was known as the "White Rabbit" by his schoolfellows. He was not, however, so ugly as this appearance would apparently convey, for his large, grey eyes, soft and even, at times agreeably humorous, were pleasant and cheerful.
"I'm going to be the attraction of this visit." "How d'you know?" Her teeth caught her under-lip. "Because I mean to be." "Well, don't make a fool of yourself, my dear." "She will," John growled. Helen spoke quickly. "Oh, Miriam, I told Zebedee about Dr. Mackenzie's ties, and, do you know, he never wore any at all!" "Old pig! He wouldn't. Mean. Scotch. We might have thought of that.
I can not think of any thing, now, more certain to make one shudder, than to have a soft-footed camel sneak up behind him and touch him on the ear with its cold, flabby under-lip. A camel did this for one of the boys, who was drooping over his saddle in a brown study.
This being done, the next meeting is, to try their Bear and Bull-Dogs at the Bear Garden; the match being made, all their wits must be screw'd up to the highest, how to get mony to make good their wagers; though Wife, House and Family should sink in the mean while: Then away they go with their Tousers and Rousers to the Bear-garden, and then the Bull being first brought to the stake, the Challenger lets fly at her, and the Bull perceiving the Dog coming, slants him under the belly with her horns, and tosses him as high as the Gallerys, this is much laught at; but his Master, very earnestly and tenderly, catching him in the fall, tries him the second time, when he comes off with little better success: Then his Adversary lets loose his Dog at the Bull, who running close with his belly to the ground, fastens under the Bulls nose by the skin of the under-lip; the Bull shaking and roaring to get him loose, but he holds faster and faster; then up flie caps and hats, shouting out the excessive joy that there is for this most noble victory.
